Speaking about their on-screen kiss, Adams told Entertainmentwise: "Well, I feel like Jennifer really made that contribution. I came up with the idea, but she executed it in a way that felt driven purely from character.

"It didn't just feel like a moment where two girls are going to kiss on screen - it felt emotional. And the laugh she gives after? That was genius."

Lawrence also spoke about her role as Irving Rosenfeld's (played by Christian Bale) fiery housewife Rosalyn.

She said: "We were going to go over the script before we started shooting and [David Russell, director] said he had a vision of Rosalyn wearing yellow cleaning gloves and running through the entire house singing 'Live and Let Die'.

"I said, 'That sounds incredibleâ€¦ how's it going to make sense?' I'm so stupid with these and like, 'I'll dance, I'll sing, whatever'."

Lawrence also discussed a dance scene for her character in the film, saying: "She's so angry and she's at this point where she's been lied to for so long and left out of everything, and she's getting to this point in this marriage that she's been fighting for so long, that she's been imprisoning this man for so many years in this marriage and she's finally ready to let it die.

"So, I think that was this great, crazy moment. I threw my neck out, actually."

American Hustle will open in the US on December 18 and nationwide in the UK on January 1. Watch a trailer for the movie below:
